As the nights draw in for most of us, there’s never a better time to suggest an end-of-year getaway for your customers – read on to discover how we can elevate their experience.
We all have those days when inspiration escapes us, despite us wanting to do our best for our clients in the quickest way possible. To help, we’ve done a little bit of the work on your behalf — read on to discover some of our favourite travel destinations, and how contacting us to arrange a last-minute charter may just add that extra something to your clients’ travel experience.
For those who seek solace in the sunshine:
The Caribbean
Word-class beaches, crystalline waters and year-round warmth make this a popular choice for those looking to get away, and enjoy the Caribbean's world-famous brand of relaxed luxury. Private jet charters elevate the experience, allowing your clients to explore several islands in one trip without the hassle of airport delays and customs queues.
South Africa
With summer in the Southern Hemisphere falling between October and February, South Africa pretty much guarantees your clients summer sun. With the combination of beach retreats, city breaks, and safaris made more accessible by helicopter transfers arranged by ACS’s Johannesburg office.
The Philippines
The warm turquoise sea surrounding the Philippine archipelago draws discerning travellers throughout the year keen to explore some of the country’s 7600+ islands. Visitors can enjoy world-class resorts flanking beaches of soft white sand, all whilst island hopping, and making use of the convenience chartering a jet brings to exploring these fabled isles.
For those who chase the thrill of the chill:
Courchevel, France
High in the French Alps, Courchevel regularly tops lists of the world’s most glamorous ski resorts. With its own airport boasting the highest tarmacked runway in Europe which regularly welcomes private jets, Courchevel combines the ultimate in luxury with the epitome of convenience.
Zermatt, Switzerland
Offering miles of pristine pistes, set against the backdrop of the iconic Matterhorn, Europe’s highest ski-resort strikes the perfect balance between classic charm and modern luxury. Overflowing with the area’s best Michelin-starred restaurants and mountain spas, and within throwing distance of the Italian border, a quick trip for a luscious lunch in Italy is well within reach.
Aspen, Colorado
Home to some of the most lavish hotels and resorts in North America, Aspen offers an unforgettable experience. From some of the best slopes and their accompanying skiing and snowboarding facilities, to luxury hospitality alongside world-class boutiques and shops, Aspen is the choice for those who want to enjoy more than just the slopes.
For those fired up by the festivities:
Prague, Czech Republic
Winding cobbled streets connecting gothic churches set the scene for the Czech Republic’s capital city’s smattering of festive markets. Prague’s largest market sits in the Old Town Square (home to a mediaeval astronomical clock), from there, enjoy the walk up to the market in Hradčany Square for the breathtaking view next to Prague castle with a trdelník in one hand, and a glass of medovina in the other.
Cologne, Germany
One of Europe’s most famous festive markets, with a sprawling history stretching back to the 1820s. Seven markets consume the city centre from the end of November to the 23rd December – each with its own theme, but all providing the weary traveller with everything from decorations to food. Cologne Bonn Airport is less than 20 minutes away from the city, leaving more time for pleasure (and purchases).
Chicago, Illinois
Though originally a European tradition, you’d be forgiven for thinking that all of the best festive markets are in Europe – however, Chicago pulls out all of the stops to create a little slice of Bavaria in the bay of the Windy City. Inspired by Nuremberg’s Christkindlesmarkt, Daley Plaza twinkles with hundreds of wooden stalls selling their wares to the chimes of cuckoo clocks.
